C970 Prince Kung's strategy

No matter how much Ci Xi resisted in his heart, she could not refute what Yi Nan had said, because that was the reality of the political situation in the late Qing. It was hard to imagine how greedy people were. Perhaps the legendary imperial power could frighten some commoners and low-level officials, but towards the high level aristocrats and the high level officials of the Chinese Officer, the imperial power was not much of a threat at all.

In short, the current Emperor of Great Qing Dynasty did not have any troops, so there was naturally no threat if she did not have any military power.

However, once this power was divided, it would be difficult to reclaim it back. How could the rich and influential officials who were holding onto the power to rent away their power just sit back and watch as it was taken away in vain? When the black eyeballs saw white silver, crazy thoughts would sprout like wild grass.

They would definitely resist, especially if their opponent was just a fifteen or sixteen year old child. This only increased their courage. In the thousands of years of history of China, weren't there a few monarchs that had been killed?

If Ci Xi could understand this logic, Yi Nan and Yi Xuan could understand too, so no one could refute Prince Kung's suggestion. Ci Xi also understood that Yi Nan's decision was definitely a form of protection for Zai Chun.

"That's right, not everyone can become the second Master Kang Xi. Wanting to take charge of his family at the age of sixteen is too dangerous for Zai Chun! Let Zai Chun keep a low profile for five to six years, and slowly support a group of loyal subjects in the imperial court.

"But I'm afraid of Zai Chun's stubborn temper! Do you remember the look in his eyes when he was determined to leave with Xiao Letian? How stubborn was that? That gaze made my heart hurt … Do you think such a child would listen to advice? "Now that our wings have hardened, I'm afraid we won't be able to control it anymore …"

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to care! While protecting the Emperor, we have to protect the Eight Banner Alliance, and we have to protect the whole of Manchu … If it really cannot be done, Chendi will have to advise you! "

Her murderous words caused Ci Xi and Yi Xuan to shiver. This Western Palace empress dowager had suddenly thought of a scene that he had never seen before, because she had not entered the palace at that time.

In the first month of these thirty years, when the Dao Guang Emperor was on the verge of death, the ministers were ordered to open the secret box of the testamentary edict and officially announce the candidate to succeed the throne.

Unexpectedly, this testamentary edict not only wrote the words' the four sons of the emperor are called Crown Prince ', but it also wrote that' the six sons of the emperors are called Prince Kung '. This was an exception that had never appeared on the testamentary edict before.

In the end, it was given to me by my father, and at the same time it was written on the testamentary edict, which has already made it clear to the entire world that among my children, the fourth son is the eldest in line to inherit the throne, and the sixth son is the second in line, the second in authority in the world.

This was not only a form of protection for Yi. It was also a way of gaining the political status of the future government. It was the first and second place for the emperor.

This was a very precious political inheritance, look at the Seventh Elder Prince alcohol, Fifth Elder Yi Cong, Eighth Elder Brother, Eighth Elder Brother, Ninth Elder Brother, Ninth Elder Brother, Xian Feng had bestowed the throne to them, and their statuses immediately changed.

If he said something unpleasant, as long as no one rebelled in Great Qing, no one would be able to touch him.

Ci Xi hurriedly shook his head and rubbed his temples as he thought of this. She kept hinting to himself, "Don't think too much into it, don't think too much into it. You can't leave Yi Nan now, you can't play without him …"

"Since his sixth uncle has said so, then we'll have to rely on the orphans and widows. We'll do as our uncle says, and after we take care of him, we'll have to support him. We can't let him mess around for five or six years, and we can't let him go without giving him five or six years."

"Sister-in-law, Chendi vows not to betray His Majesty, not to betray the world. If there is a violation of the oath, heaven will kill earth!"

Ci Xi immediately rushed forward and covered his mouth, "What are you doing? What oath? Do we trust anyone in the new Chueh-hiro family? "The meat will always rot in the pot …"

Yi Xuan who was at the side simply did not care about the body interactions between Sixth Brother and Fourth Sister. The biggest variable would be Xiao Letian, what if he continued to bewitch His Majesty? What if his new army personally escorts His Majesty back to the capital to seize power? "

"We have to be on guard, we have to be on guard …"

Yi Yu sneered and said, "If it really comes to that, then let's fight!" He, Xiao Letian, wants to bewitch His Majesty into taking down all eight flags of mine, then we will do as the empress dowager has said … "

"There is no distinction between north and south, nor is there any distinction between the old and young. Even if we are to cut off territory to borrow foreign troops, we cannot be softer! We cannot let Xiao Letian succeed even if we give him some land that can allow him to live on! "

Ci Xi also squinted his eyes, showing a vicious light: "You're right, although the foreign citizens have a big appetite, they only want money. Other than Raksha Country's land, the rest of the westernization s all want a few small ports … We don't care about it at all. Give them the port and let them earn money! "

"But we can't let people like Xiao Letian get away with this. What they want are the rivers and mountains in the Great Qing Dynasty. If we let Xiao Letian get away with this, all the Manchu in the world will be massacred."

Yi Xin subconsciously patted the back of Ci Xi's hand and comforted him, "This is the worst plan I can come up with! At the very least, from Xiao Letian's current movements, we can see that he has not displayed too much of his ambitions … "

"What we need to do now is to keep a close eye on Xiao Letian, one is to see when he will expand his army, two is to see if he will establish the cavalry regiment, and three is to see if there are any movements between him and the Xiang Army …"

"The Last Point... It was just as Yang Zhi said, staring closely at the belly of Xiao Letian's woman! With a son and a son, Xiao Letian, that kind of threat is not even on the same level! "

Yi Xuan saw the Sixth Brother holding Fourth Sister's hand from the corner of his eyes and thought, "Can you not let me see it? Can you not let me see it! "Just what is going on with the imperial court? Every year is an evil affair …"

"Chendi will be leaving first. I have been in charge of keeping an eye on Fu Hui's line the entire time, I have to arrange more manpower for him. If anything happens, Chendi will immediately report this to the empress dowager and Sixth Brother!"

So far, in the late summer of 1868, not only did Ryukyu Xiao Letian formulate a strategic plan for the future, at the same time, the strong conservative factions in the also made strategic plans for the next five years.

Everything was to be done in three years. In the year 1871 of the Western Calendar, at the moment of Zai Chun's personal governance, all the trump cards of various powers would be revealed. The future direction of China was truly shrouded in mist.
